History

Sacred Heart Kindergarten, Prekindergarten and Lucky Ducks are located in Old Town Florissant in the historic Herz Jesu school building, which celebrated its 120th anniversary in November 2009 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1963 four parishioners started the kindergarten in the building after learning that local public schools would not be offering a kindergarten program due to space limitations. Their goal was to create a safe, creative and active place where children can enjoy learning. The school currently has 64 full-day and morning kindergarteners, 63 prekindergarten students and 30 Lucky Ducks.
